Several years after Knollwood Heights was established as a Village of beautiful homes, a committee was appointed with the responsibility of designing and erecting a showplace for the Community without reference to cost. This was just before the depression of 1932. This handsome residence was erected and constructed by leading artisans as an expression of their skill, superior workmanship and quality of materials. The central portion of the home is drafted to resemble the early 18th century masterpiece, the ancestral mansion Westover of the Byrds of Virginia on the James River. The wings are drafted to resemble the exterior wings of HOMEWOOD, the ancestral home of the Carrols of Carrolton. Homewood Gardens are the largest, non-commercial gardens in the Sandhills & are noted for their beauty in landscape plantings and flowers.
